Getting Blown-Off

Anyone else ever experience the straight up rejection that you feel when you send a networking email, log on to LinkedIn, see that the individual looked at your profile, but never get a reply email? Obviously they read the email, so my question is: do I continue to send them an email in persistence, or do I just face the facts and move on?

I hound people until (1) they tell me to go away and will never hire me or (2) they introduce me to their friends so I can pester them too.

Thanks. I'd like to add that I make introductions as well, so it's not a one way street.

The post title is very deceptive

I'm like one of them marriage counselors. Charge by the hour to tell some fool he needa bring some flowers home. Then charge another hour telling the bitch she oughta suck some cock every little once in a while. Keep a marriage strong like that. -Prop Joe
